Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman calling the program. She says: Honorable Shaykh, it is reported that the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), was asked about the month of Sha'ban and she said
This is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people overlook.هذا شهر بين رجب ورمضان يغفل عنه الناس
or as it came in the hadith. Her question is: What is the point of comparison between Rajab and Ramadan? May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
Yes. The meaning is that the month of Sha'ban is close to Ramadan, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast most of it and loved fasting in it to prepare for the month of Ramadan, which is close to it. The meaning of it being between Rajab and Ramadan is that it is close to Ramadan. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
